Fix memory leak in pgoutput with relation attribute map

pgoutput caches the attribute map of a relation, that is free()'d only
when validating a RelationSyncEntry.  However, this code path is not
taken when calling any of the SQL functions able to do some logical
decoding, like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes(), leaking some memory
into CacheMemoryContext on repeated calls.

This is a follow-up of c9b3d4909bbf, this time for v13 and v14.  The
relation attribute map is stored in a dedicated memory context, tracked
with a static variable whose state is reset with a MemoryContext reset
callback attached to PGOutputData->context.  This implementation is
similar to the approach taken by cfd6cbcf9be0.
